CHATTANOOGA, TENN, April 8.-Two
gentlemen met here today, one hold
ing ticket over the Western and At
lantic and Nashville and Chattanooga
lines, and the other over the East
Tennessee system. The former route
is 521 miles in length from Atlanta to
Memphis, the later 459 miles. The
ticket over the first route was bought
for $19 25, or 81 38 less than cents a
mile. The ticket over the East Ten
nessee cost cents q mile, or $13 70.
The holder Of the East Tennessee was
incensed, declaring that the interstate
law did not allow the Western and
Atlantic railroad to sell through
tickets at less than local rates. He
says he will test the matter in the
courts.

BIRMINaHAM, ALA, April S-Out at
the Pratt mines, some Blk miles from
the city, about o'clock this morning
one of the operators turned over q
burning lamp on the landing, and
soon the whole shaft struc 'ure was In
q blaze. News OF the confagration
soon sprta 10 the city, creating a big
sensation, as it was known to bs posi-
bic that large number of miners
were in danger. There was an abund-
a1t supply Of water from the conpa-
ny's reservoir, about a mile distant,
but no engine, 80 the cities engine
was borrowed with hose reel
and cent ont. 1t reached
the fire about 8 O'Clock and found the
timbers burning ia the shaft, but all
danger TO the miners was passed.
There was only small night shift OF
twenty-one men, some OF them con-
vic,s, and thirty mules in the mines,
and all had passed unhurt under the
opening and up the connecting slope
and into daylight about a mile away.
The engine put the fire out before 1t
reached the coal, but everything com.
bustible above ground was destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. The
insurance. will make good the better
part of it.
Your correspondent visited the
scene OF the fire this afternoon and
was told by the man sgement that they
will be hosting coal again inside of
three weeks. 1t will be readily seen
Though that tine delay will amount to
something. The mine is the most ex-
tensive in the State, it's average daily
output being 500 tons Of coal, or almost
all Of the entirs product Of the Pat.

Jack DOwd.

The Northwest has the following ac-
count of the recent race won by Little
Turf:
Mr.. James NJ. Bailey, who went down
to see the race. Sunday between Ham,
mond's Turner and Col. ]. C. C. Thorn.
toms Jack Dowd, IA son of "Turf Gal
lery," and formerly known as Little
Turf,') says there fully 500 people present
at the race, which was best 9 in 8 for a
half mile, 81 900 a side, and considerable
money-probably approximating S. 1000
changed hands on the result. Jack
Dowd won in 5l4 and 81, in a very close
race, it being claimed bysome that there
was day light between them at the finish
and by others that there was not in
either heat. Little Turf Inns been con-
sidered the fastest half mile horse in
Montana, and Turner's achievement,
sven if he did get beat. is it his credit.
Philipsburg backed its horse pluckily in
face of the circumstances. but there were
no ranches bet on the result that any
body knows of nor was there much
money put up after Saturday night. The
Dowd horse has been matched for
another race at Philipsburg next Sunday
with Hammond's Mary Filley, half mile
heats, for $4,000. She Is a fine animal,
but will have to go a lively gate to down
the Dowd horse. 1t is stated Hammond's
party dropped $1,000 last Sunday, but
had some incoming revenues that eased
upon the loss considerably. "Uncle
William will paint things blue il the
filley don't get there first next Sunday.

SAND coULEE COAL,

Captain T. P. Fuller has lately receiv-
ed, and has on exhibition in his store,
a ton of coal from the Sand Coulee
mines. 1t is in chunks of about a cubic
foot each, and Is a very fine sample. The
coal is rather peculiar in appearance.
Some OF it seems to much resemble can
mel, while the balance is evidently true
bituminus coal. Those interested in
coal or in the Great Falls or Sand Cou-
lee region should step into Capt. Fuller's
hardware store and SEQ the samples -
Independent.
representative examined a piece of the
aforesaid Sand Coulee coal, and procured
IL piece for those in Bozeman to gaze at
should they wish to do 80. We pro-
nounce it bituminous shale and not coal
as it is designated. If the Sand Coulee
| fields contain a great amount of shale
such as is on exhibition in Helena, Great
Falls can start a petroleum works at
once, and save itself the trouble of Dor.
ing for the oil. which lays under the sur.
face wherever shale exists; for the great
est gas springs anu Ntiio VI tilo country
are located in strata Immediately over
lying black shale such as we have on ex.
hib;tion, and sufficient infamable gas is
daily escaping to light all the large cities
| of the United States. In California, il is
true, no great amount of oil, tar and
pitch can be extracted from its shale, as
the structure of the region has not been
favorable to their accumulation. How.
ever, the asphalt derived from its exist.
ence has considerable economic value
and in case our friends at Great FALL
should fail to extract petroleum from
their shale they al use it for paving tn,
streets of their coming city. Unfortun,
ately shale is only a shell formation
and no great amount of it exists in any
one place, and we therefore advise oul
friends in Great Falls not to exhaust The
supply in samples, but Use it for stree;
! paving purposes.

An Early Opening Desired.

Assistant Secretary Muldrow, of the
Interior Department is of the opinion
that the decision in the Boise City
case does not apply to the Fort Ellis
Military Reservation, and that claim
ants on the latter reservation will net
be recognized. And his arguments ap-
pear to be well sustained. He says in
the Boise case, when the reservation
was taken in. it was during the time
when it was within the Territory of
Oregon, embracing the lands west of
the main range of the Rocky Mountains.
The Fort Ellis reservation is in fact
between the main range and the Belt
range, neal the city of Bozeman at the
head of the Gallatin valley. We trust,
however, that the department will soon
see its way clear to opening up the Fl.
Ellis reservation in some way, because
the land is rich and would add very
materially to the agricultural products
of the Territory could it be made sus-
ceptible to cultivation. The finest fruits
and Vegetables every produced in Mon
tana came from the old military garden.

ing OF them has arisen, causing conces-
sions in the prices asked, and in some
cases re-consignments of considerable
lines to commission houses in this mar
ket.
Unwashed woods haze been quiet and
without any movement of interest.
There has been some demand for medi-
UNI grades, not enough, however, to
maintain the extreme figures at which
they were held, and it is safe TO say
hat these woods can be bought a
cent per pound lower than three weeks
ago. Fine unwashed does not meet with
any inquiry and is likely to remain
quiet until next month.
Territory woods have sold to a moder.
ate extent, both of new and old clip, but
the same features apply to these as to
other woods, the movement is chiefly
confined to medium grades. While there
is considerable of these woods now in
transit, but a small amount, comparative
ly, has arrived. Of such as have been
offered On the market, the good con-
ditioned lots have sold quite readily
within the range of quotations. Reports
from Montana continue to speak favor
ably of the condition of this years clip
as being lighter than that of last year,
which will undoubtedly make them es-
pecially popular, as many Of the woods
from other territories show a heavy
shrinkage, leading manufacturers to
show a decided preference for the light
clips from Montana.

Live STOCK.

CATrLE-The market at Minnesota
Transfer last week was active. The
arrivals were above the average and the
demand good, but prices ruled too low
for the shippers interest in the majority
OF cases, though the market on the
whole may be considered steady. The
greatest trouble is the fact of many poor
cattle being sent, in some instances per-
haps a few head in n car, but sufficient
to detract from the selling quality of the
load. Representative sales were: Good
steers, 200 to 1900 lbs, $50 q $50;
LOO to 200 lbs., $3.50 q $40; l 900 to
LOO lbs, So a 1926, good mixed butcher
stock ruled from $3.50 a 2.75, and cows
from S2.25 a $50; poor stock selling as
low as 50. Bulls ranged from 81 a $50.
and veal calves 81 a 4.25.
SHEEp-There was a good demand and
a plentiful supply all the week. Among
the arrivals were 1000 head of western
sheep of good quality, about 100 lbs.
average, of which sales were made at
S3.4O. Good natives, so to 90 lbs. aver
age, sold at So q 1926, and good lambs,
80 to GO lbs. average, and fat, sold at
s4.5O; some not SO good brought only 81.

SPOKANE FALLS.

From a gentleman recently from Spo,
kane Falls, we learn that that city is still
going ahead, and that the latest indus
trial addition to the town is Il cracker
bakery. The people. all have great ex-
pectations Of the future, and are build
ing entirely upon hopes. There seems
to be a number of old fogies in the town.
Notwithstanding its wonderful strides of
advancement. Recently a capitalist
offered, with assistance, to put in n large
wooden mill at the falls, but was not en-
courageJ, and was at once taken in tow
by the more entcrprising people Of
Walla Walla, which forever blights the
hope of such m enterprise at Spokane
Falls. A planning mill, recently erected,
procures its power from steam, the
owners of the falls making it impossible
for water power to be secured ut reason
able rates. The gentleman, who has
lived several wears in this climate, in
| forms us that the climate of Spokane
Falls, during the five months he was
there, was disagreeable in the extreme.
Rain, raw cold, dust and intense hot
weather, are the characteristics of the
climate.

the west coast on Wednesday afternoon
and on Friday evening was rendered a
reception by the Young Peoples Asso.
citation of his church. A large number
of church members and friends of the
popular preacher wero on hand to well
come him back to his field of labors. Mr..
Stevenson very feelingly attempted to
express the qualification he felt at
the heartfelt welcome which had
been extended to him, and then gave a
brief description of his trip and a few of
the observations he had made in the
land of fruit and flowers.
After Mr.. Stevenson had concluded his
remarks, the glee club rendered one of
Its best selections. This wa followed by
an instrumental Duct by Mrs. Alexan-
der and Miss Lulu Cleaveland. Mrs.
Wilson then sang a solo. An intermis-
sion was afterward enjoyed with the in
nocent game of bean bag, sides being
chosen and the game played with great
vigor and high enjoyment.
Miss L. T. Sperling opened the second
part of the musical programme with an
instrumental solo. This was followed
by an instrumental Duet by Mr.. John
and Miss Lena Luce. Mrs. Wilson sang
another song and the enjoyable enter
tainment was concluded by a chorus of
the Glee club.

account of the affair has been handed

A welcome sociable was given on FRI
dav evening last by the Young Peoples
Association of the Presbyterian church,
to their pastor, Mr.. Stevenson, on his
return from a ten weeks absence on the
coast. The meeting was opened by the
singing of the 329th hymn, "All Hail tie
power of Jesus name," and a short
prayer by Mr.. Stevenson, after which
the president, Mr.. F. ]. Nesbitt, in a few
well chosen remarks, stated the Object OF
the meeting, and introduced Mr.. Steven
son., who made n short address. giving n
ludicrous account of some of his expert
ences on the ocean and in other places
during his trip. The following program
was then rendered and well received by
the large audience present, all of whom
expressed themselves as well pleased,
and hoped the Y. P. A. would continue
to give such entertainments.

A POLYGAMIST.

Eugene Winzler, a good-looking young
German, with pcachblow cheeks and in
variably arrayed in neat clothes, has
been working in Martin McLain's bar.
Der shop for nearly six weeks. On Sum
day he packed his grip and departed for
the west, claiming that he had secured a
position in California, and was obliged
to 60 at once to secure it.
1t has since become public that VIM
Ter is no other than the bigamist
whose wife came all the way from Ger
many, to discover that he was living
with wife No. . in Helena. This state
of affairs and the expose which
followed caused Winzler to agree, with
the consent of No. 2, that he would live
hereafter with No. l, ifallowed his liber-
ty. He came to Bozeman soon after and
has since received numerous letters from
Helena, which are supposed to have been
written by wife No. 2, and further that
the two had made an agreement to fly
together after the matter had blown over
and it is probable that this Is the true
stat, OF affairs.

ALMOST MADE HOMELESS.

One day last week the house of VIM
Franks, who lives three miles from
Creamery, was a v from total destruc-
ton by fire, by the united efforts of d.
NJ. Dawes and son and Mr.. Latus. These
gentlemen, when two miles away, saw a
cloud of smoke issuing from the house,
which was a frame structure, and with
all possible speed drove to the burning
building. When they arrived they
found only the women of the household
around and they were almost exhausted
by their efforts to %extinguish the flames,
which were now issuing from the roof.
Mr.. Dawes got or top of the house while
his son passed him water and soon had
the flames controlled.
The fire originated through the little
girl Of the household, who put a stick of
wood in the kitchen fire and either did
not try or could moi shut the stove door.
The women, who were alone, were in
the garden and did not discover the fire
until it had made considerable Roadway.
